Re: 2012 Presidency (USA)

Am I right in thinking that most Americans decline Obama just because he did not ameliorated the economic situation as much as everyone expected and now they have a big tax bill which they would have had either way?

I don't know if everyone expected a Führer 4 years ago that got them out of the financial crisis but "not doing much" is a lot better than what Bush & Co did.

Re: 2012 Presidency (USA)

If you care even one little bit about the state of the economy you should be looking at how it actually fucking works (and see how fixing it is never ever going to happen), instead of going with the candidate who repeats the word more than the other.

Also here if you actually have any faith remaining in this system, allow me to squash it.

^It's sad because it's true.

@Dark: Your class doesn't openly discuss the very valuable importance of our nation being a Republic? That's like, invaluable to understand the nation's infrstructure. Who the fuck is controlling the school board over there in Kansas? (Don't worry, College will open so many doors for you.)

if this is true, then i have no idea why you are throwing that vote at the party which has demonstrably been to blame for all the major fuckups the us economy has endured in recent history

unfucking the mess the republicans left costs money which the government needs to raise taxes to pay for??? fuck, man, that's just criminal. those goddamn thieves.

also, doing 'not much' (patently false anyway) is a whole lot better than 'doing a lot of really fucking dumb things', which has long been a cornerstone of republican policy

you hate the party the least bad option is a member of, so you're going to vote for the second worst option after ron paul? that makes sense

Because voting for a President who's also going to continually run the country into the ground is better? More Government jobs! That'll fix the economy! Make all health public! That'll surely help the actually hard working medical experts like Physical Therapists that are so very fucking important to the physical recovery of the body which in case already have a fucking difficult time actually getting through the shitty government healthcare ALREADY in place. I just don't like what Obama is doing and his party is going no where. But wait, no, they're both fucking terrible, so I'm glad I've been having these conversations. It looks like I will be writing in Chuck Norris come November because I honestly can't pull it out of my ass to vote for Romney.

Obama's Administration is looking more and more like Jimmy Carter's in terms of Economics and we all know Obama is nothing compared to Carter in terms of Foreign Policy. That is why I won't vote for him this November, regardless of who I vote for.

Because the Republican Party is regrettably the only with a conservative economic approach, I was more inclined to vote for them. We don't need to spend, we need to save. Democrats want to keep spending and we don't have money to spend for them. At the same time, tax the wealthy and they'll take it out on those below them. The system is fucked up regardless and there is no WORSE President. They're both equally shitty in their own ways and frankly I was voting based on the concept that I want the situation to change. The problem with your methodology is that there will be a new President in the next 4 years and letting a President who isn't doing much stay for another 4 years is crazy. The Democrats are all talk. The Republicans at least act, even if it's stupid half of the time. These debts you keep talking about with the Republican party accumulating over the years aren't just on the hands of the Repubs. It's the GOP and the fucked up Bureaucracy as a whole for the past 30 years that's fucked us over.

@Patricks: No, that's not it, it's the fact that he made promises he couldn't keep and overpursued shit he shouldn't have tried to. You don't go for a healthcare reform in the middle of one of the worst recessions in Global history. That's like switching to Stargate Tech as Protoss after losing your entire army from mass Marine/Rax/Vikings. It just doesn't work. Yes I just made a StarCraft reference. Deal with it. I'm not saying he had to keep all those promises, but when you build your entire campaign on hope and change and you leave America with neither you're really showing you're nothing but silver-tongue.

GUYS WE HAVE TO SAVE THE FICTIONAL NUMBERS THAT HAVE NO REAL RELEVANCE TO ANYTHING OR ELSE WELL RUN OUT OF FICTIONAL NUMBERS BAWWW

yeah good luck, debt, by design can never be repaid as long as interest exists, regardless of how much you run social programs into the ground you will never save enough money to repay the debt. All you will have succeeded in doing is bringing social health even further down than it already is in the United States.

Simply put, I'd rather have 16 smart people having the important decisions based off of information they received than 10,000,000 stupid people vote their opinions.

It's a system that makes sense based on the level of technology we had sixty years ago. Now, we're a technological society with each person able to instantly reach anyone within the world. I've been against the electoral college since I learned about it. We're a nation of individuals electing a single person. There's no reason why anyone's vote should be ignored on the national scale since more people in their county voted for the other person.

Also, a bit of irony. I've long laughed at how Romney and his running mate tell nothing but lies and misnomers (someone counted it as over 600 lies over the past 32 weeks on reddit. no idea if factually quantitative or not though). Today, he's telling the teachers on strike in Chicago to go back to work because it's important our kids have an education and this strike hurts them. They're striking because current policies on education hurt the students. It's stuff like this and Ryan not understanding how voting in Congress works that makes me wonder how they managed to get to be presidential nominees.
